Good morning.

Have a corrupt Acer Switch 10 that a friend brought me to try to repair.

Can anyone tell me what the factory disk partition setup is.

Is it 3 or 4 partitions? Looks to have approx 64 GB eMMC drive.

 

Can someone give me a list and approx size and format of each partition.

With that info I hope to get the partition formats and tables set properly to where the recovery thumb drive she bought will bring this computer back to a bootable state.

 

Does this factory recovery thumb drive depend on any files in any of these partitions or does it reinstall all files needed to bring this computer back to factory settings as long as partitions are there and formatted correctly?

 

Right now the recovery drive boots, starts to setup gets to setting partitions then fails with following error

Thanks in advance

Gary

    It does not depend on data on the HDD. Us diskpart to clean the HDD and then boot to the drive.
